FAQ from MCP Server with Datasaur Sandbox
What prerequisites are needed?
Python 3.8+, a Datasaur account with API access (obtain API key from dashboard), and basic command‑line knowledge.
How do I get my Datasaur API URL?
Log into Datasaur, go to the Deployments section, create or select a deployment, and note your deployment ID and model ID. The URL format is https://deployment.datasaur.ai/api/deployment/{deployment_id}/{model_id}/chat/completions.
Where are API keys stored and what transport is used?
API keys are stored in a .env file (not committed) and passed via environment variables. The default transport is stdio, as shown in the Claude Desktop configuration example.
What should I do if I get an “API key not configured” error?
Ensure your .env file includes DATASAUR_API_KEY and that the key is correctly copied from your Datasaur account.
